Recently the Ibotta app was not working properly and I sent in a request. When I didn't hear back in 2 days I resubmit it.

Then I submitted on another receipt for the same problem. Rather than fix the issue I bought a deactivated my account without notice. I've seen him or online complaints about this recently and feel like either they don't have the money to pay or their customer service is just Fallen to an all-time low.

Not only am I deleting all of my referral post for this company but I'm contacting the products that I did not receive payment on to complain about Ibotta and their practices. Not only will I no longer refer or use Ibotta I will no longer purchase the products that they support.

Same thing happen to me. I joined ibotta got my family and inlaws got money back from it. I reach $93 from doing it and they deactivate my account for no reason.

I just got banned too. What a sad company, they didn't even give me a reason why they felt as though they should keep my money. Fraudulent and disgusting.

Seems to be what they do lately. I think we should all contact the company's whose products they represent and let them know that Ibotta is acting in a fraudulent manner.

I am so MAD. I was new to Ibotta, had no clue about it and ontop of it I just started couponing also.

Nobody takes the time when they have a 12 month old, husband, and are so busy you can’t catch up. So I mixed up a couple receipts at first... no big deal they unsuspended my account, I get my receipts mixed up... I have so many darn receipts I can’t keep track even.

Maybe I should be more careful, but none the less they gave me a couple shots. BUT, this last time... they permanently suspended my account for absolutely no reason. I had almost 40.00$ on my account of products I actually bought, it was not cheated or fraud or whatever you want to call it.

It was EARNED MONEY, period. I went to withdrawal the money and it asked for my password, the email included in the pop up box to enter my password was my PAYPAL EMAIL, not the email for my Ibotta. So me being me, and anybody else would think also they were asking for my PAYPAL password.. correct?

Well I kept entering it, and trying again and again. And nothing wrong password, so I go in and reset it from my app, and then try again. Nope contact support, account locked. Oh great, they sent me an email, failure to enter right Ibotta password?

Oh okay, jeeze... i just assumed since it was my PayPal email, it makes sense now. I don’t have the same password for both because PayPal requires special characters. That’s what I did wrong!

Well something that could happen to anybody, no big deal right? Well wrong! I got an email back the following day saying that my account was suspended because I submitted alike receipts in the past and pretty much long story of blah blah read our terms. HOLD ON!!!

We already went through this BEFORE and you unsuspended my account. Now I entered a wrong password, it was an honest MISTAKE. I can’t believe customer service. So I can just never use my account again?

All because you guys can’t be bothered to ask me a darn security question and be on the way. Wow way to go Ibotta. 0 stars from me. You took money that really helps, some people struggle.

They need it.

Convienet that when I’m trying to withdrawal money you suspend me. Hmmm

Not only did you deactivate my account but accuse me of stealing receipts. At a bar when you pay cash you receive multiple receipts per day for multiple drinks purchased.

I have never used someone else's receipt but rather than check or better yet reach out to the retailer to check you just automatically accused me of theft.You do not have my "cooperation or understanding" as I find it offensive to be accused of this. I have reached out to the retailer as I am a regular customer and they are contacting their suppliers to complain the their suppliers and to the manufacturers, as will I.

We have completed the review of your account. Based on our analysis, we have chosen to permanently deactivate your account.It appears that your receipts show multiple transactions per day at the same retailer.

We consider this irregular shopping behavior and have reason to believe that these purchases were not made by you, but by other people. Per Ibotta's Terms of Use, Section 10.2, users may not redeem, or attempt to redeem, Ibotta offers for products that have not actually been purchased and retained by that user.Due to the nature of our business, we reserve the right to suspend accounts either temporarily or permanently if users violate any section of our Terms of Use.Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

It's common to have more than one transaction at a bar. Some places do not allow you to run tabs. You have to pay for drinks as they are ordered.

Someone needs to explain that to Ibotta. I had emailed them because they allowed multiple rebates, I had 2 drinks on the tab but they only credited one.

They didn't respond so I emailed again and that is when they decided I must be dishonest and closed my account and kept my money. Scammers!

They did the exact same thing to me and sent me the exact same response. When I emailed trying to explain they sent another automated response. Horrible customer service and obviously not very intelligent agents if they don't understand that you can easily have several receipts from a bar.
